She accepted his affection, her eyes closed.
But Brian restrained himself.
Admiring her captivating face, he fought his rising desire.
He wanted her to know this reconciliation wasnât about physical want.
His love was both of the flesh and the soul.
They clung to one another in silence, seeking serenity.
Then, the calm was broken by the ring of Brianâs phone.
Cradling Rosalynn in his embrace, he lounged on the couch and accepted the call.
âGo on.
â
âMr.
Hughes, Iâve taken the samples to the lab.
We expect results within three days, at most,â Edwin informed.
âKeep a close watch on the process,â Brian instructed.
âIâll be vigilant, rest assured,â Edwin assured him.
After a brief silence, Edwin added, âAlso, our team has located Kennedi.
Should we arrange her return to the country?â
Kennedi was found?
With a sidelong look at Rosalynn, Brian commanded, âIf Kennediâs been found, then yes, bring her back.
â
At the mention of âKennediâ, Rosalynnâs heart skipped a beat.
âAre you searching for Kennedi?â she asked.
Brian affirmed with a nod.
âShe nearly took your life.
I wonât let her off easily.
â
Rosalynn bit her lip, pleading, âPlease, let her be.
Barlow owed her one and wished for us to leave her alone.
â
Observing the sorrow in her gaze, Brian squeezed her shoulder reassuringly.
âAlright, weâll honor his request.
â
To Edwin, he said âEdwin, release Kennedi but warn her against returning to Wragos.
â
âUnderstood, Mr.
Hughes.
